Don’t more people die from falling in the bathtub? I think Bachmann did a great dis-service to this country. I believe vacinations are important. I get my dog her rabbies shot every two years. I got my children every shot the law required and they are now healthy and strong parents. Geeze Louise, give me a break!

You are wrong here. There is such a thing as a “liberal gene”. http://www.nbcsandiego.com/news/weird/Scientists-May-Have-IDd-Liberal-Gene-105917218.html.

Scientific study proves it.

The 2006 population of women in the US per the census was 151,795,031.
Number of cervical cancer cases diagnosed in 2005 per the CDC was 11,999.
Therefore, 00.07904% of women were diagnosed with cervical cancer that year.
The number of deaths by cervical cancer in 2005 were 3,924.
Percentage of cervical cancer death incidence was 00.00258%.

The Gardasil complication rate is at least .375%.
The Gardasil death rate is .0125% .


You left some things out:

- If gardasil works, it’ll only protect against two forms of HPV that (supposedly) protect against 70% of cervical cancers, not all cervical cancer
- Gardasil will need boosters every 5 years. if a woman doesn’t get the boosters, she won’t be protected at all
- Merck admits that they don’t even know for sure that gardasil will work. HPV has a 15-20 year incubation period before it causes cancer. Merck only followed their test subjects for 1.5-3 years. (It was those subjects that showed a 17% reduction in HPV infections vs. controls - not the 70% that should’ve been had gardasil worked as well as promised)

Gardasil is NOT worth the risk and should NOT be mandatory.

“No it was because some people will look for any reason to attack a candidate they don’t like.”

For example, their hair style.
